If "they" tell you to jump in the fire, would you believe that as well?

It depends!!! just trying to research some stuff, they would be the engineers of the system and the people who tested it to verify that it was accurate information.

Or at least one would like to think and hope so!

Well said Jack.
I am not trying to diss the tuning companies, but you have to remember that they are in the business to earn money and do not always have the budget to test things to the extreme. (and sometimes they just plain bullsh*t). Read what the tuning companies say, but do not believe everything blindly.
I am a firm believer in the Latin phrase "Caveat Emptor" (let the buyer beware).

So a turbo/ Nitrous forged iron 6 liter should take care of the stangs and be about 700 hapees. That sounds pretty streetable.

this is actually a 2 year old system STSTURBO has about 10 years building this system for offroad trucks. the FAQ at thier home site has a lot of info about it. they had garret custom build a turbo (new fin design mostly) that will work more effeciently with the colder denser air at the tailpipe. LS1TECH has quite a few people puttin 12psi with this and one or two people aiming at 15+psi...

there are people using FMIC's with this already also and they are only experiencing 1.5psi drop from the turbo to the intake. the only thing I know of right off hand that everyone seems to dislike is that you cannot use the drivers side subframe connecter with this kit. the intake pipe bolts up in that spot. Rick from STS says that the intake is pretty think and acts as a SFC but I have yet to see it in person to confirm this.

if anyone has any questions I have done quite a lot of research on this as I was supposed to be one of the testers for the kit.

so what happened I am kinda turned off by the cone filter location but seems petty slick.

I got orders to korea and felt it was wrong for them to give me such a huge discount for it to sit in my garage and collect dust instead of getting it to the dyno and track.

the filter is a really good K&N and there are several people in texas driving it in the rain and mud
